What Is Chiropractic Treatment?

A chiropractic adjustment involves a trained doctor or technician using tools or their hands to manipulate the spine. Chiropractic treatment is normally very short. The doctor will administer a thrust to the area of the spine being treated. The thrust is controlled and it may be anywhere from gentle to moderate. 

If chiropractic treatment is successful. You should have better mobility and less pain. Your body may function better overall. 

How Is a Chiropractor Different Than a Medical Doctor

A regular doctor goes to medical school for 4 years and receives an MD degree. A chiropractor receives a DC degree from a chiropractic college. They study for four years as well.

A chiropractor focuses on the central nervous system of a patient and the spine and a doctor focuses on blood work. The best medical care a person can get is holistic health care. It involves a combination of traditional medical treatment, physical therapy, chiropractic care, and nutrition to treat illnesses and chronic medical conditions.

The Treatments We Offer

We offer three basic kinds of chiropractic treatment to our patients. They are called the click, the crack, and the drop.

The Crack

The crack is the most traditional of our chiropractic treatments. It is what most people think of when they hear the term chiropractic care. When you have the treatment, the chiropractor will place their hands on the area to be treated and administer a moderate thrust. 

You will hear a crack when this happens. You should not be alarmed, no bones have been cracked or broken, and the sound you hear is simply gas escaping from the body. A traditional chiropractic thrust will take a joint out of its normal range. This will cause gas to escape the capsule that is inside the joint. 

The Drop

The drop is done with the use of a Thompson table that elevates the area to be treated. The chiropractor will thrust using their hands at the same moment that the table drops. This is a much more gentle form of chiropractic adjustment. You should not hear a crack and the doctor will only apply a moderate amount of pressure.

The Click

The click is a very gentle chiropractic treatment designed for people who may think traditional spinal manipulation is too harsh for them. It uses a tool to apply pressure to the area of the spine to be treated. You will not hear a crack and the thrust level is very mild.
